| David Bowie – Win Lyrics | 10 years ago |

I will try to give a good analysis. This is how the song speaks to me. BTW, some of the lyrics above are wrong, so I have fixed them below. "Me, I hope that I'm crazy I feel you driving and you're only the wheel" The person Bowie loves is in control of the relationship. Bowie feels this, and hopes that he is wrong. But he knows he is not. "Slow down, let someone love you Ohh, I've never touched you since I started to feel" Bowie would like the person that he loves to let themselves love Bowie and accept Bowie's love. Also, they are starting to push Bowie away. "If there's nothing to hide me Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired" I don't really get this part. I think it's probably him saying that he is completely open to them but they aren't to him. "Somebody lied, I say it's hip To be alive" Perhaps they are also a pessimist. "Now your smile is spreading thin Seems you're trying not to lose Since I'm not supposed to grin All you've got to do is win" In this "game of love", the person Bowie loves is always focused on not being the one to be heartbroken. Which means they aren't allowing themselves to feel and they're hurting Bowie in the process. "Me, I'm fresh on your pages Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud" Bowie is next in line on the list of their lovers. "Life lies dumb on its heroes Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud" They should get hurt and accept the love and pain. They can only feel love when they allow themselves to completely give themselves up. Surrender. "Someone like you should not be allowed To start any fires" This is my favorite line. A heartbreaker like them should not be allowed to let people love them. "Now your smile is spreading thin Seems you're trying not to lose Since I'm not supposed to grin All you've got to do is win" |
